[Bug 988925] Re: util-linux no longer provides ddate
Sure I noticed that... Man, I hate this overserious tendency in Linux
lately, taking the fun out of everything.
Anyway, I bulit myself a deb package (amd64) out of this code:
https://github.com/yath/debian-ddate
Seems like there are plans to add a ddate package into Debian repos: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=764383
I guess it will be mirrored to Ubuntu then?

Title:
util-linux no longer provides ddate
Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Having just upgraded to 12.04, I was dismayed to discover that ddate
is longer present on my system. In previous releases it was provided
by util-linux, and according to the online man page
(http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/ddate.1.html) it is
still supposed to be provided. However:
lesslie@hal:~> ddate
No command 'ddate' found, did you mean:
Command 'hdate' from package 'libhdate1' (main)
Command 'sdate' from package 'sdate' (universe)
Command 'rdate' from package 'rdate' (main)
Command 'idate' from package 'itools' (universe)
Command 'date' from package 'coreutils' (main)
ddate: command not found
System information below.
lesslie@hal:~> lsb_release -rd
